Mountain of Ink

Today's ink is Robert Oster Motor Oil. This ink came out in the last few months, and it immediately reminded me of Robert Oster Melon Tea, which I love, so I knew I needed to give it a try. I purchased my bottle of ink from Pen Chalet.

The color...

Motor Oil is a dark brown with black sheen.

In large swabs on Tomoe River paper, all you really see is black sheen and dark shading.

Ink swabs for comparison, left to right (top to bottom for mobile RSS): Robert Oster Melon Tea, Robert Oster Motor Oil, and Sailor Jentle Doyou. Click here to see the Robert Oster inks together. Motor Oil seems like a darker version of Melon Tea, but between the two I think I prefer Melon Tea.
